But most of the time, they just like to scare people. They have one sign that will give them away, they will have pale stretch marks on their neck.However, there is a scarier version. This version is called Nukekubi, the "Removable Head Woman." Her head completely detaches from her body and flies around at night looking for people to eat. You can kill her if you find her body and hide it. In a small town in Japan, there lived two hunters named Mosaku and Minokichi. Mosaku is an old man and his son was 16 years old. One night, while they were hunting, a huge snow storm fell upon them. They took shelter in an abandoned cabin in the wilderness. Soon they both fell asleep. But, Minokichi was awakened by the freezing cold, and he noticed that the door was wide open. The snow witch was hovering over him and said, "You are a pretty-boy. I will not kill you. But if you ever tell anyone about me, I will!" Then, she left. The boy tried to wake his father up but his father was dead.He carried his father back home after the storm and continued to hunt to provide food for his mother. One year later, he met a beautiful pale girl and they fell in love. His mother died and the girl gave birth to ten children. One day, Monokichi told his wife about the snow witch. "It was I-I-I! Yuki it was! And i told you that I would kill you if you ever told anyone about it! But because of our children i would not kill you! If you do not take good care of them or if they ever complain, i will treat you as you deserve!!"Then she left screaming like a crying wind, exploding into white mist. Tenome was a blind man who was beaten up and murdered by a mugger. He returned as a ghost, but his anger and desire for revenge was so great the his blind eyes were gone, and instead, he grew new eyes in his hand. Not knowing the face of the man who killed him, he roams around killing anybody while waving his hand to see. *1 - the rice represents innards and also has the role of attracting spirits.*2 - the crimson thread represents a blood vessel. It seals the spirit(s) up inside the doll.*3 - by cutting the thread off, you break the seal and release the spirit(s) you have trapped.*4 - if you go out of the hiding place without salt water, you might encounter "something wandering around" in your house which might harm you in some way. Apparently the way to feel the presence of the "something wandering around" is to watch "what happens to the TV." Notes Other things to keep in mind:+Don't go out of the house until you have done the finishing ritual.+You must turn off all lights.+Keep quiet while hiding.+You don't need to put the salt water in your mouth all the time. You only need to do it during the finishing ritual.+Remember, if you are living with someone you might put them in danger too.+Don't continue this ritual for more than one or two hours.+For safety reasons, it might be best to keep all the doors in the house unlocked (including your front door) and have some friends close by so that they can come and help you at a moment's noice, if you ever need them. Keeping a mobile close at hand would be a good idea too. MOST IMPORTANTPlease don't stop this ritual halfway. You must do it through to the end.

Say "You are the next it, __(the doll's name)," as you put the doll back in its place.8.As soon as you have put the doll down, run back to the hiding place and hide. How To Do It: 1. Take all the cotton (or whatever it is stuffed with) out of the doll, and stuff it instead with rice*1.2. Clip a bit of your nails and put them inside the doll, and sew the opening up with the crimson thread. When you finish sewing, tie up the doll with the rest of the thread *2.3.

The Answer Man is an urban legend about a game that is played by kids in Japan. They say the game can invoke an evil spirit that will answer any question given to it.

You need:

Ten people who each own a cell phoneStep 1: Gather ten people in a loose circle. Each person must have the cell phone number of the person to their left. Step 2: On the count of three, each person presses the call button to contact the person on their left Step 3: Everyone puts their phone to their ear and listens

Because everyone is calling each other at the same time, all of the phones should be busy and nobody should receive an answer. However, one person will find that their call is mysteriously answered and they will hear a voice on the other end of the line. This is the Answer Man. When you are on the phone with the Answer Man, you can ask him anything. He will answer whatever questions you choose to ask him. However, after he gives you your answer, he will have a question for you. They say that if you answer his questions incorrectly or are unable to give an answer, a large gnarled hand will appear from the phone and tear off a piece of your body. Urban Legend Story Hikiko Ayakashi Japanese Classic Horror

Jigoku Shoujo Sadako 3D Carved In this world there are things that you should never say out loud, and the Japanese poem “Tomino’s Hell” is one of them. According to the legend, if you read this poem out loud, disaster will strike. At best, you will feel very ill or injure yourself. At worst, you could die.In this video you can hear Tomino being read in Japanese. You will notice that the person who made the video used text to speech software. They didn’t dare read it out loud themselves. This is a rough English translation:Tomino’s HellThe older sister vomits blood, the younger sister spits fire.Cute Tomino spits treasured jewels.Tomino died alone and fell into hell.Hell, darkness, with no flowers.Is it Tomino’s older sister that whips?The number of red welts is worrisome.Whipping and beating and pounding,The path to eternal hell is only one way.Beg for guidance into the darkness of hell,From the golden sheep, from the nightingale.How much is left in the leather bag,Prepare for the endless journey into hell.Spring comes and into the woods and valleys,Seven turns in the dark valley of hell.In the cage is a nightingale, in the cart a sheep,In the eyes of cute Tomino are tears.Cry, nightingale, for the woods and the rainVoicing your love for your sister.The echo of your cry howls through hell,and a blood-red flower blooms.Through the seven mountains and valleys of hell,Cute Tomino travels alone.To welcome you to hell,The glimmering spikes of the needled mountainStick fresh punctures in the flesh,As a sign to cute Tomino. I have no idea whether or not it is safe to read the English translation out loud. If I were you, I would err on the side of caution.One person said: “I once read Tomino’s Hell on the air for an online radio show called Radio Urban Legends. At first everything was normal, but gradually my body, it became difficult to read. I read half of it and then broke down and threw it away. Two days later I got injured and I was left with seven stitches. I do not want to think that this was because of the poem.” Tell her, "You look average."This will confuse her while you escape!
